5-JAN-22 SKULLCANDY UNVEILS SKULL-iQ SMART FEATURE TECHNOLOGY TO ENABLE HANDS-FREE AUDIO VIA SIMPLE VOICE COMMANDS
Skullcandy®, the original lifestyle audio brand, announced today its all-new, voice-driven platform, Skull-iQ Smart Feature Technology™. Providing users with the ability to go completely hands-free, Skull-iQ debuts on both the Push Active Sport True Wireless and Grind True Wireless Earbuds ($179.95 RRP), which will only get smarter over time with over-the-air updates via the Skullcandy App. The new collection is available now at Skullcandy.com.au and JB Hi-Fi nationwide.
Intuitive voice commands are the standout feature of Skull-iQ Smart Feature Technology. Users can simply say, “Hey Skullcandy” to initiate seamless voice control. They can then give commands to play or pause content, accept or reject calls, turn on Stay-Aware Mode for enhanced safety and even launch Spotify. Through a partnership with the world’s most popular audio streaming subscription service, Skullcandy is the first to provide voice-activated Spotify Tap™ access. A simple, “Hey Skullcandy, Spotify” voice command enables the most frictionless way to access music and podcasts, or users can press a button on their earbuds to activate. Skull-iQ also makes it easy to issue audio commands directly to a device’s personal voice assistant without any additional setup. These game-changing convenience features are ideal for anyone seeking added flexibility, but especially important for active lifestyle users engaged in activities like snowboarding, mountain biking, skateboarding and more.
“At Skullcandy, we live and breathe adventure in the same ways our consumers do and it’s our shared passions that push us to innovate,” said Jeff Hutchings, Skullcandy Chief Product Officer. “Skull-iQ grants our fans the freedom of hands-free voice control over their music, communications and more, allowing them to stay in the action without missing a beat. We’re thrilled to bring these advancements to the masses with the value-packed Push Active Sport True Wireless and Grind True Wireless Earbuds, offering affordable access to an ever-growing list of advanced features thanks to over-the-air updates.”
Skullcandy’s latest collection of true wireless earbuds is led by Push Active and Grind; an ideal entry point for those looking to experience the Skull-iQ hands-free voice control technology. Push Active is for those seeking an adventure-ready, durable fit, designed specifically for high-intensity activities. Push Active True Wireless Sport Earbuds are the ultimate audio partner, offering flexible over-ear hooks and water/sweat resistance. Alternatively, the Grind, aptly named, is your go-to for everyday errands and work-life routine. Grind True Wireless Earbuds are your strong and stable in-ear solution to doing it all, water/sweat/dust resistant with a truly premium sound.
